Abstract: The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂O₃S, was synthesized from 2-methoxythiophenol and 2-chlorobenzoic acid with copper powder as catalyst. In the molecule, the two benzene ring planes are roughly perpendicular. The molecules are linked through an inversion center by O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming a pseudo-dimer.
